Denison University strives to be an exemplary steward of our natural world and a leader in sustainability. We take an intentionally multi-disciplinary approach to sustainability that balances environmental, economic and social responsibility. We believe that our approach to sustainability will support the well being of the college and the global community beyond. Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. Academic research, strategic investments in infrastructure and human resources, student-centered programming, plus community partnerships are central to our efforts. Whether in the classroom, the Licking County community or a country halfway around the globe, Denison students, staff and faculty lead by example. Together, we share a vision of a healthy future where people and the planet thrive.

The arboretum is for the entire community to enjoy! Spurred by a desire to conserve and restore the wonderful treescape at Denison—a treescape that really defines campus—Denison developed their first arboretum from the existing species along the main walkway through campus.

At Denison, learning doesn’t stop when you hit your room and drop your books. In fact, there’s probably never going to be a time when you’re absorbing life on a 24/7 basis as much as you are in college
